I had anterior placenta with DD and din't feel any movements until over 20 weeks. Once she started, she didn't stop, though!

I had an anterior placenta, so it took until about 20 weeks to feel movement. I drank a lot of lemonade to see if it would make him move and to see if I felt bubbles.

I have anterior placentas for both of mine but started feeling tickles around 16 weeks. I think with twins, though, you start to feel movements a little earlier since everything is stretched out more...I'm sure you'll feel something soon!

I started feeling flutters at 21 weeks!

I had an anterior placenta but I started feeling flutters around 17/18 weeks. I felt a real little jab at 20 weeks.

I had an anterior placenta and first felt flutters at a little past 17 weeks. I wasn't able to feel anything from the outside until 21 weeks.

I recently posted the same question with a poll!

I felt definite kicks by 21 or so weeks. However I think I'd been getting kicked in the cervix for WEEKS before that but dismissed it as a nerve twitch. Baby kicked me in the cervix during an u/s so I can confirm it was actually happening!

Mine was around 21-22 weeks until I felt anything. I was also anxious, but after I could feel she made up for it kicking me NON-stop.

@JoJoGirl: That's where I get kicked the most! Fun stuff lol

Right at 20 weeks!

DH felt him from the outside maybe around 25 weeks?

I didn't feel regular movement almost my entire pregnancy. At 22 weeks I could feel hard kicks that I couldn't confuse with gas, but they didn't happen often.

Just found out this morning that I have an anterior placenta too, so I'm really glad I found this post!

I've felt teeny kicks or pokes since 17-18 weeks, but very rarely. Mostly it's just a weird movement feeling but nothing ai could define, if that makes sense. I did feel a couple of good jabs the other day though, at 19 weeks. Baby was definitely kicking at my cervix in the ultrasound this morning, but I couldn't feel it at all-- weird to see him/her kicking without feeling it!

I've been sort of worried/impatient that I couldn't feel more, but as soon as she told me the placenta was at the top in the front, I was like, OOOH, is that anterior? Is that why I can't feel a lot? So, thanks Hellobee!

I felt the first kicks at 18w3d but it took several more weeks before I could feel them regularly. During weeks 19-24 or so, it would often be 2-3 days in between feeling movements, since the baby is still pretty tiny at that point and the feet had to be in just the right place for me to feel them.

18 weeks

@jhd: me too I wasn't sure if I just wasn't paying attention enough to feel movement, or if I really wasn't feeling much. But once they start, man, they START. The last few nights have made me almost wish that I couldn't feel anything-the *second* I lay down, I proceed to get kicked to kingdom come. I mean, it's very cool to feel, but I get tired! That probably sounds bad, huh? Whoops...

BTW, are we having the same pregnancy?!

22 weeks were when I knew what I was feeling were kicks! Before that I felt little "gas bubbles" that were probably kicks, but I wasn't really sure!
